I really wanted to display these spoons but I didn't want to spend a lot of money. A couple of weekends ago when we went to look at the local antique markets I found this old spoon rack.

I decided that I would give it a quick coat of paint and pretty it up a bit!

I found some left-over sample pots from when we renovated our kitchen, mixed a few colours together with some white paint and made a pale grey colour.

And Voila! After 2 coats of paint and a little light sanding I finally have somewhere to display my spoon collection!

I am now trying to find some nice old plates to display on the other side of the painting.

I am so happy that my spoons are now on display. My daughter is making a little felt decoration for me to place at the top of the rack so that I can cover up the hook. I will hopefully be able to share pictures of her little creation soon.

Thanks again for visiting and I hope that you have a fantastic week. Be sure to check out this week's Say G'Day Linky Party for more makeover, tutorials, recipes, crafts and inspiration!

Natasha, Now you have an extra drawer to fill as well. Love what you did to the spoon rack. Have you looked for decorative hooks. Sometimes they are in framing shops and I have found some pretty designs like that.

Natasha-I love love that gray! It is so nice to be able to display and enjoy the things that mean something to us! This looks great. I love the picture on the beach (I enlarged :)I think plates would look great on the other side!

How lovely! What an awesome find and how perfect it looks painted instead of dark wood. Nicely done.

Thank you for stopping by and commenting. Glad you loved the little jars. Funny how I never thought to pick them up until a few months ago. I am always on the look out now, but then so is everyone else.

Thanks to my friend "Anne" further up this comments page finding you while surfing, here I am as well!Your Blog looks fun and I will be back:)I like how you have displayed your spoon collection. Have you visited all those places? I spotted one from Stonehenge, some of our family live in Salisbury.

Look at all those spoons...what fun! My friend has a collection she inherited form her Mother in Law...I have always enjoyed the way they look. Your display is fantastic...great transformation. Thanks for stopping by 504 Main!Holly504 Main

Natasha darling what a lovely spoon rack it turned out. Love the colour and where you placed it, perfect spot and now you have a drawer you can use. Thanks for visiting me darling and for the sweet comments you leave behind, you are a good friend.

I love it! I am trying to get my dad or husband to make me this custom spice rack so I am into this right now! :) Maybe next week...you have me inspired. My dad just retired & I think he needs stuff to do so I am gonna bug him.
